(John Woods/The Canadian Press via AP) Five of the nation's top women's soccer stars, including the World Cup MVP Carli Lloyd, plan to file a federal complaint Thursday accusing U.S. Soccer of wage discrimination, the New York Times reported. The athletes, including members of the reigning Women's World Cup champion team, argue they were paid much less than the top men in the sport, according to their attorney, Jeffrey Kessler. The five women also include World Cup goalie Hope Solo, co-captain Becky Sauerbrunn, forward Alex Morgan and midfielder Megan Rapinoe. The U.S. women's team won the 2015 World Cup with a commanding performance over Japan. “We are disappointed about this action. We have been a world leader in women’s soccer and are proud of the commitment we have made to building the women’s game in the United States over

bbedward Posted March 31, 2016 Report Posted March 31, 2016 Supply and demand? I wouldn't expect WNBA players to make the same as NBA players because nobody cares about them.
Clevfan4life Posted March 31, 2016 Report Posted March 31, 2016 Hope just needs to go away. She and her abusing ex NFL boyfriend are just looking for last payout before absolutely no one gives fuck about them anymore. I don't think she could even do porn with that beat up trim.

Westside Steve Posted March 31, 2016 Report Posted March 31, 2016 Women should not be paid the same as men in any situation unless they do the job as well or better, and in the second instance they should be paid more. And Title Nine is bullshit. WSS
MLD Woody Posted March 31, 2016 Report Posted March 31, 2016 Poll: Anyone watch women's soccer outside the world cup? I watch every USA game (Men and Women) I can catch
MLD Woody Posted March 31, 2016 Report Posted March 31, 2016 If you google hard enough you should still be able to find hope solo's awful gnarled up box on the internet somewhere. Can't look at her anymore it reminds of it. This is your typical crude comment... ... But you're right
MLD Woody Posted March 31, 2016 Report Posted March 31, 2016 You're right, supply and demand. If there was more of a market, they'd get paid more. That being said, our women's national team is probably the most popular female sports team in the country. I wouldn't be surprised if they were underpaid On the other hand... Alex Morgan. I'm on her side. For reasons
LogicIsForSquares Posted March 31, 2016 Report Posted March 31, 2016 Womens sports should not pay as well as mens. Bring in the same amount of revenue and then revisit the pay issue.
Clevfan4life Posted March 31, 2016 Report Posted March 31, 2016 correct me if i'm wrong, but I thought womens soccer was infact watched more than the men. As it kind of should be since they don't suck and the men do.
Clevfan4life Posted March 31, 2016 Report Posted March 31, 2016 This is your typical crude comment... ... But you're right At least someone understood how desperately I was tryng to hijack this thread into a discussion about what a let down that was. I mean, when I heard it was out there I was like nuh uh...srsly? Like for real? It's hers verified? Pinky swear it's her? It just shows you never can tell.
LogicIsForSquares Posted March 31, 2016 Report Posted March 31, 2016 correct me if i'm wrong, but I thought womens soccer was infact watched more than the men. As it kind of should be since they don't suck and the men do. Like being the best surfer in Nebraska. No one watches soccer so the women may have the lion's share of the 8 people who tune in.
gftChris Posted March 31, 2016 Report Posted March 31, 2016 On the other hand... Alex Morgan. I'm on her side. For reasons Reasons. Good reasons. Very good reasons in fact. Reasons so good you wouldn't believe me if I told you. Trust me when I say I have reasons because I've had so many reasons in the past, I'm the greatest at reasons. On OP, supply and demand, yes. People care less about women's sport by virtue of it being women. It's the one area that genders won't really be equal, physical excellence. Of course plenty of women will be better then most men at some things, but the floor, ceiling and average of men will just be better when it comes to athleticism, and people want to watch the best.

As it kind of should be since they don't suck and the men do. I don't think that's true. Maybe they had a more highly watched game in their World Cup than the men?
Clevfan4life Posted March 31, 2016 Report Posted March 31, 2016 I don't think that's true. Maybe they had a more highly watched game in their World Cup than the men? Oh ok. I thought they had better ratings overall but maybe im wrong. In any case, time to blow this thread up. Time to kick it up a notch. Gentlemen are you ready?

blowe Posted March 31, 2016 Report Posted March 31, 2016 Personally I don't give a fuck about either soccer team and feel neither should be paid for playing such an insanely sissy sport.
